Thanks, that’s what potential buyers will want to see. Boss moved production to Taiwan around 1990 so you likely received it a few years later than you remember. The circuit stayed exactly the same so it will sound every bit as good. -
Could you possibly get a clearer photo of the label on the bottom of the pedal? Thanks

Now that's a 'board that means business!

I have a dep gig tonight with a local singer-songwriter and the load-in involves parking in a public car park 2-300 yards away and handballing the kit from there. I was going to use my Origin Bassrig until I found out we have a drummer playing with us. I know the PA and I think it would be unrealistic to expect it to reproduce my bass above a live kit so I am going for plan B - Markbass Nano 300 into BF One 10 - which is still one easy trip from the car. So going ‘Amp-less” will have to wait for another day…

Payday bump -
Last year my Bowie tribute Rebel Heroes played at the Bowie Convention in Liverpool. One of the guests was former Spider From Mars drummer Woody Woodmansey, who came backstage to congratulate us on our performance. Considering I have been listening to his playing for close to 50 years, I was beyond delighted.

Whatever it is he needs a few more knobs and switches. -

I’m happy with either as long as everyone is clear at the outset what the setup is. I marginally prefer the dictator model as long as I don’t have to be the dictator - a motivated BL can really get things moving for a band. Problems happen when most of the band think they’re in a democracy, but one member reckons they are entitled to the last word. Did I say ‘one member’? I meant the singer of course.

Belated bump, although part of me is strongly tempted to keep it...

In case anyone was holding their breath I decided to stick with my DIY no-load tone pot.

Should the sad day arrive when I have to go amp-less, it will be this plus a tuner pedal:

I think that might get in the way of my plectrum…

Playing whilst Sick (Tales/regrets when the show went on..)
JapanAxe replied to ARGH's topic in General Discussion
I came down with a fever during the first of 3 sets on lead guitar, accompanying a country singer/guitarist who used a drum machine. The gig was somewhat challenging anyway as, not only was I playing unfamiliar material completely by ear, but the guy worked in 2-beat chunks - if he’d finished a vocal line before the end of beat 2 he’d immediately start the next one! I spent the breaks pressed against a radiator, trying to subdue the shivering. I couldn’t have left early as I’d shared a lift with the guy from part way there. -

99.99% of the time I would agree with you, but the Barefaced 4x10 etc have low pass filters on one side to prevent phase cancellation.

Playing guitar with a rock’n’roll band at a pub in central Cardiff. I honestly can’t think of a single thing that could go wrong…

What is the most you'd personally pay for a new bass?
JapanAxe replied to lidl e's topic in Bass Guitars
The most I’ve paid for a brand new bass is £1,450 for my AVRI Precision (about 7 years ago). I paid £2,495 for a new CS Strat (around 9 years ago) and that’s the record to date. -
